Amos 8
1 Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan waan kana natti argisiise: kun guuboo ija bilchaateen guutamee dha.
2 And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come on my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
Innis, “Amoos, ati maal arguutti jirta?” jedhee na gaafate. Ani immoo, “Guuboo ija bilchaateen guutame tokko” jedheen deebiseef. Ergasii Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Saba koo Israaʼelitti yeroon dhufeera; ani siʼachi isaan hin baraaru.”
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, says the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Gaafas faarfannaan mana qulqullummaa keessaa booʼichatti geeddarama. Reeffi akka malee hedduun lafa hundatti gatama! Calʼisuunis ni taʼa!”
4 Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Isin warri rakkattoota dhidhiittanii hiyyeeyyii biyyattii balleessitan waan kana dhagaʼaa;
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
isin akkana jettu; “Akka nu midhaan gurgurannuuf Baatiin Haaraan yoom goobana? Akka nu qamadii gabaa baafannuuf Sanbanni yoom darba?” Isin warri safartuu xinnootti fayyadamtanii gatii immoo ol kaaftan, madaalii sobaatiin nama gowwoomsitanii saamtu;
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
hiyyeeyyii meetiidhaan, rakkataa immoo kophee miilla lamaaniitiin bitattanii girdiis qamadii wajjin gurgurattu.
7 The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee ulfina Yaaqoobiin kakateera; “Ani gonkumaa waan isaan hojjetan tokko illee hin irraanfadhu.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
“Sababii kanaaf lafti kirkirtee namoonni ishee keessa jiraatan hundi hin booʼanii? Guutummaan biyya sanaa akkuma laga Abbayyaa ol kaʼa; isheen akkuma laga Gibxi ol dadarbatamtee liqimfamti.”
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Bara sana, “Ani akka aduun saafaadhaan dhiitee laftis guyyuma adiidhaan dukkanooftu nan godha.
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Ani ayyaana amantii keessanii gaddatti, sirba keessan hundas booʼichatti nan geeddara. Ani akka isin hundi wayyaa gaddaa uffattanii mataa keessan haaddattan nan godha. Ani yeroo sana akkuma booʼicha ilma tokkichaa, dhuma isaas akka guyyaa hadhaaʼaa nan godha.”
11 Behold, the days come, says the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Yeroon ani biyyattiitti beela fidu tokko ni dhufa; innis beela dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼuu ti malee beela nyaataa yookaan dheebuu bishaanii miti.
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Namoonni dubbii Waaqayyoo barbaacha galaanaa gara galaanaatti, kaabaa gara baʼa biiftuutti ni jooru; garuu hin argatan.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
“Bara sana “Shamarran babbareedoo fi dargaggoonni dhiiraa jajjaboon dheebotanii gaggabu.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Your god, O Dan, lives; and, The manner of Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
Warri cubbuu Samaariyaatiin kakatan yookaan ‘Yaa Daan dhugaa waaqa kee jiraataa’ jedhan, yookaan warri ‘Dhugaa waaqa Bersheebaa’ jedhanii kakatan akka lammata hin kaaneef ni kufu.”
